Under any of their monikers (Steppin Razor, Lemon Interrupt, Underworld), they are easily recognizable and always on top of their game. I did stay away from the Darren Price/Darren Emerson solo remixes as those should be viewed as separate from the overall group. Mix 1 starts off with some of their older works, though not presented here in any sort of chronological order. William Orbit's great track given the underwater treatment, sort of a dubby ambience I suppose. Spooky's Schmoo Dub on the Dub House Disco 2000 compilation, remixed by Steppin Razor, making this a bit more engaging than the original. Leftfield's wonderful Song Of Life brought to new territory under the Lemon Interrupt name. Then we come to my favorite EP from Orbital, Diversions. The Chemical Brother's track was from the first EP I bought of theirs and love the remixes from Underworld and Sabres of Paradise on that one. Model 500 is new to me, so no real feedback yet. Then ending the first mix with the excellent dub mix of Front 242.
The second mix starts with Bjork from her Debut solo album, and a solid reworking by Underworld. Sven Vath's source material works really well in the Underworld remix machine. Shakespear's Sister was a new one I found while compiling this list and I was pleasantly surprised. Massive Attack are welcomed on any comp, I forgot about this remix. Dreadzone is another one that I found specifically for this mix. Then David Lynch, probably the newest on this set and shows that Underworld haven't lost anything in the last few decades. Ending it with a classic from Drum Club, probably back to some of their earliest works.
